A documentary film crew visited Dargaville last week to speak to a local resident with an impressive list of accomplishments. National cricket representative, painter, musician, powerlifter and multi-sport competitor; it’s the definition of a life lived to the full. The fact that Ming Ming Edgar is legally blind has not slowed him down for a second.

Attitude TV travelled to Dargaville to share his story as part of their long-running inspirational series of New Zealand short factual films. Attitude is a long-running Kiwi television series documenting the successes of people living with being differently-abled. It’s followed our sporting champions to the Special Olympics, interviewed the Wheel Blacks, and also won awards for promoting inclusion and empowerment. Running since 2005 the series has provided an insight into the courage and determination of many Kiwis who have overcome great obstacles to achieve life satisfaction and success. Mr Edgar and his mum, Gaynor, welcomed a three-person film crew into their Dargaville home to help chronicle his achievements, which stack up as

an impressive CV. Many locals will know of his skill on the piano keys, as he’s been a regular sight busking on the main street, outside Countdown or performing in variety concerts during the years. Gaynor adopted Ming Ming from his original homeland of China at the age of seven. He has lived in Dargaville ever since, taking full opportunity of the outdoors and cultural life of the town. A talented artist, his works have graced exhibitions at Dargaville’s Muddy Waters Gallery. On the opening of his first solo exhibition in 2019, aptly titled My View of the World, he was typically humble and humorous. “I would just say well … have a look and see what you can do, just have a go, some things you might not have tried before, and you never know

you might be good at it, you might be Picasso.” Additionally, Ming Ming participates in a list of sporting codes, which includes rugby, hockey, discus, shot put, running, swimming and long jump, not to mention primary passions for cricket and powerlifting. When asked if it was hard to balance all of these interests, Mr Edgar was adamant that there’s always time to learn and experience more. As for being on television; the hardest part was not being shy of the camera, but working with the crew on a frosty winter morning. The completed documentary will screen in August after editing.

p Ruawai College students are back in full swing since their return to school on Monday, May 18. “Quite fitting for the current global situation the school focus for this term is resilience,” says principal Raeleen Harré. “Students, staff and whanau alike have shown great resilience throughout the lockdown. The school is immensely proud of everyone’s efforts, especially as part of their strategic intent for the last few years has seen a focus on digital fluency. We had a great attendance rate during the first week back on-site, with pupils and staff excited to be reunited with their peers.

Consultation on wharf rebuild u by Liz Clark
The rebuilding of Mangawhai’s historic wharf is one step closer after the Northland Regional Council notified the resource consent application is open for public consultation.
p The locality plan of the proposed new wharf at Mangawhai
“Getting this far has been a long and expensive process,” said Mangawhai Historic Wharf Trust chair, Colin Leach. “The key reason the trust was set up to build the wharf was the overwhelmingly positive feedback from the community. At this stage in the process, anyone can make a submission, whether it is for or against the wharf. Demonstrating community support is essential to success.” The resource consent application was lodged by the trust last April. It proposes to reinstate the former Mangawhai wharf that was built in the early 1880s and later demolished during the 1950s. The NRC says the project “will consist of a piled timber wharf structure extending 101 metres into the coastal marine area. An elevated three-metre
wide walkway, 90m in length, leads to the head of the wharf.” “Mangawhai is a rapidly growing community, with limited amenities and access to the harbour. The wharf will integrate well into our walking and cycleways, provide a link to the water and can be a valuable educational tool for promoting the wellbeing and understanding of the harbour and all of its inhabitants,” Mr Leach said. “In completing your submission, you should think about what the rebuild of the wharf would mean for you, your family, the organisations you are part of, and for our community as a whole.” Submissions close on Tuesday, June 23. For more information go to nrc.govt.nz/consents/notifiedresource-consents/mangawhai-historicwharf-trust/. ¢
Council approves local relief package u by Paul Campbell
Kaipara businesses, community and sporting groups that have been struggling as a result of the Covid-19 lockdown are invited to apply for a share of a $640,000 support fund approved by Kaipara District Council. The fund will not be dispersed in cash, but will offset licence fees, rates and lease costs. Mayor Jason Smith says the first face-to-face council meeting since the lockdown levels began was unanimous in approving the funds, which will come out of its current budget with no impact on the reduced rates already announced. Council’s manager of sustainable growth and investment, Sue Davidson, says the most vulnerable businesses were in the construction, hospitality and retail sectors. “The Kaipara Mayor’s Taskforce for Economic Support and Recovery heard from 437 Kaipara businesses and residents that said support would be helpful at this time. “We’re trying to make it easier for businesses to open up again and get operating,” said Ms Davidson. “We can’t offer cash, but we can help reduce some of their council-related

business expenses.” Businesses in the hospitality industry, or that require health, food or alcohol licences to operate, could be eligible for a hardship grant of up to $1,500 to be applied against their licence fees. Many businesses could also be eligible for a grant of up to $500, to be offset against their rates. The package also extends to community and sports groups and camping grounds on council land, which could be eligible for a grant to offset their rates or council leases. Some feedback received suggested the package be extended to individuals that are struggling. “We rely on people to pay their rates where they can but, as a reminder, if individuals or businesses are struggling and call us, we can discuss options for a payment plan.” For details — go to kaipara.govt. nz/covidsupport
The team at big river fm would like to thank advertisers for their tremendous support during the lockdown.

Roper & Jones Just a few short months ago, real estate experts predicted a 2 to 5 per cent – maybe even up to 7 per cent – rise in New Zealand house prices for the year 2020. Such optimism was as result of a strong economy, low unemployment, low home loan interest rates and ongoing migration into the country. While there was concern that mortgage rates might creep up mid-year and that a usual caution mindset might come into play in the lead-up to the general election but on the whole, the property market was looking good.
STATE HIGHWAY 12, MAUNGATUROTO
Then came Covid-19. In my fifty years as a real estate agent exclusively in the Kaipara, I’ve seen the market go up and I’ve seen the market go down. I have found that, regardless of the economy and government policy, real estate tends to work in eight to ten-year cycles. But the impact of Covid-19 on the Kaipara District real estate market, and where to from here, is almost impossible to predict.
A Craftsman’s Dream!
What I can tell you is that, from the day we went into Level 2, the market is strong. Contrary to headlines, prices have not suddenly dropped and if you are buying and selling in the same market, the situation is unchanged. If you are a first-home buyer, now is the perfect time to buy as low-interest mortgage payments may be the same as rent. My impression at this time is that there are plenty of buyers about and not enough sellers. Providing the price is right, enquiries are solid.
79 JUMNA ROAD, MAUNGATUROTO
It is indeed hard to know what to expect in the coming months — is this flurry of recent activity merely pent-up lockdowned-buyer demand? — but I am feeling more and more confident as the days go by that the property market will recover sooner rather than later.

Iwi launch anti-tip petition u by Paul Campbell
With submissions on the proposed Dome Valley tip for Auckland’s rubbish now closed, Ngati Whatua is seeking national support from “all iwi and tribal partners” for a petition to halt Auckland Council negotiations with Waste Management Ltd. The company is seeking approval from Auckland Council to create the megalandfill within 1,000 hectares of land it has acquired in Dome Valley. Ngati Whatua CEO Alan Riwaki has thrown his iwi’s weight behind the Fight the Tip protest group, which has opposed the plan since its first notification. “We ask the council to halt all discussions with Waste Management NZ and as a Treaty partner provide our iwi the opportunity to co-create a partnership that will assist our communities to manage waste in a way that puts our community at the centre of decision-making,” he said. “We did not expect that Ngati Whatua would be the subject of further injustices when we signed our Treaty settlement with the Crown, less than 10 years ago. We filed our submission against the proposed Dome Valley landfill. Many of our whanau and hapu have also filed submissions objecting to the plan. “Auckland Council’s failure to consult exacerbates the grievances already held about our whenua, awa and culture. We are staunch in our opposition to this landfill, which not only pollutes our waterways but encroaches on our responsibilities as mana whenua.”
p Ngati Whatua CEO, Alan Riwaki
“We are flummoxed that Auckland Council can consider approving the landfill, which will operate until 2060 at the same time as saying it has an aspirational goal of zero waste to landfill by 2040. However, they appear determined to proceed with approving the landfill.” “Ngati Whatua are asking for national support for this issue and are seeking support from all uri, whanau, hapu, marae and tribal partners to sign our petition at our.actionstation.org.nz/ petitions/protect-our-kaipara-moana, as well as using their influence to stop the development of the Dome Valley landfill.” ¢
Future plans in place for growth u by Andy Bryenton
The Kaipara District Council has developed an important guide to inform future planning, infrastructure, financial and economic strategies for the district, with the aim of supporting sustainable development and managing growth in these areas. It’s the KDC’s first Spatial Plan for Key Urban Areas, setting a road map for how our living, working and shopping centres should grow in the years to come. With rapid expansion of the Kaipara population (up to 20% per annum), it’s important to have a ‘big picture’ plan to oversee long-term, positive growth with all the infrastructure needed to make it a success. Following several rounds of community and Mana Whenua consultation, Kaipara District Council has adopted a Spatial Plan for Dargaville, Maungaturoto and Kaiwaka, and will begin public consultation for the Draft Mangawhai Spatial Plan soon. Mayor Dr Jason Smith says this is planning of a shape, size and scale never undertaken before in Kaipara District. “This is what has been needed for a long time, and has extra relevance especially as we plan and pursue our recovery from the
impact of the Covid-19 pandemic,” says Mayor Smith. “The Spatial Plan is an important first step to how we encourage the towns of Dargaville, Maungaturoto and Kaiwaka to enter a new chapter in their history.” Once the country moves to Covid-19 level one, public consultation for the Draft Spatial Plan for Mangawhai will begin. The aim is to provide for a more sustainable approach to development in Mangawhai while protecting its coastal village identity, rural productivity, biodiversity, coastal and estuarine natural resources. Public consultation will clarify the council’s vision for Mangawhai’s future; details on having your say are available on the KDC website. “Planning now for the future of Mangawhai is, therefore, a key consideration for how we can help keep the district progressing for current as well as future Kaipara residents,” says Mayor Smith.

Businesses in the hospitality industry, or those that require health, food or liquor licences to operate, could be eligible for a hardship grant of up to $1,500. These will be applied against their licence fees as they come due. Many businesses could also be eligible for grants to offset up to $500 on their rates.

Dargaville Combined Churches Foodbank is looking forward to a funding boost with the release of the autobiography of a founding member of the Kaipara Vintage Machinery Club, and veteran farmer, Bruce Galloway.
The second annual Environmental Awards, which have been delayed by the Covid-19 lockdown are to go ahead in a scaleddown fashion, according to the Northland Regional Council, which says it’s “determined to recognise Northlanders’ valuable environmental work.”
Bruce will launch his fascinating look into seven decades of life on 11 farms across the North Island. He will donate $5, for each copy sold, to the food bank to help families affected particularly by the Covid-19 lockdown. Titled, The Flying Farmer, the substantial volume he has written for three years is at once a history of New Zealand farming development and also high adventure in the air. It’s illustrated with his large collection of photographs depicting hard work on the land, raising cattle and sheep and extensive cropping as well p Author and historian, Bruce Galloway as another abiding interest. Bruce found time to learn to fly and even The two of us in front got knocked to buy his own aircraft. around pretty bad. My injuries were Sometimes things did not pan out pretty horrific, my left foot was 95% the way that he planned though and severed, and many other things were interspersed with many adventures is not good.” Bruce’s laconic account of disaster as The Flying Farmer also gives a described in the book. detailed account of the vintage club’s “We all had a good height. I was earlier days and a myriad of other then hit with the most violent bit of anecdotes. It will be launched at flying I have ever done. It was all over the club in Harding Park at 2pm on in seconds, and we were on the ground. June 10. ¢
Chair Penny Smart says many people had made a real difference to the region’s environment during the past year and, “despite the adversity of the last few months and the twin challenges of drought and pandemic, had continued to so. “It’s important that this very valuable mahi is recognised, not just when times are good, but perhaps even more so when things are so much more challenging.” A decision to cancel a planned awards celebration scheduled for May 28 was made early last month due to the pandemic response. NRC had received 28 applications when an official nomination period closed on March 22, less than a third of the 93 nominations made for the inaugural awards last year. “In large part, this can be attributed to the issues and associated uncertainties we’ve been preparing for and facing for during the application period,” said Ms Smart. Similarly, the operating climate meant council staff had also not been able to promote the awards to potential applicants as thoroughly as they would

have liked. Now, instead of a large-scale event, the winners would be announced via traditional and social media in a few weeks’ time. Entrants had been open to all sectors including individuals, community groups, schools, tangata whenua, businesses and leaders. A presentation of trophies, certificates and $1,000 cash prizes to winners will be made in a small, inhouse presentation, which meets any relevant pandemic conditions at some point in the future. ¢

It’s all about the experience u by Andy Bryenton
Not all doom and gloom u by Matt King, Member of Parliament for Northland
For the past few weeks, we’ve taken the time to present a few good cases for shopping local and supporting local businesses, during this unprecedented time of social upheaval and change. All of them have hinged on the benefits to your local town and region of spending with local stores, keeping the engines of the local economy fueled and firing on all cylinders. There’s another very good reason to support your locals, and that’s experience — both the experience inherent in our small-town business owners and the experience of shopping p Dargaville Township with them. The first part of this comes those decisions are giving the customer down to an opposition to a process that a poor experience. The local way of has attempted to render the customer doing things is different. Small town service model and front line staff in business owners often know their trade terms of ‘fast food’. in meticulous detail. What’s more, they It’s not a Kiwi way of thinking but is value the reputation of their shop and instead an import, and it goes like this; themselves, so they are more likely to staff are interchangeable, expendable, give honest advice, fix problems rather and can be trained to parrot the ‘right’ than force you to navigate call centre phrases out of a three-ring binder robot mazes, or even send customers of rules. elsewhere if they don’t have just the Between blandly uniformed front- right solution. It’s easy to see which model counter team members and a call centre to ‘resolve’ problems, head office need you’d prefer to shop with, and which not worry about experienced staff at all; multinational oligarchs like best. Vote staff who may demand better pay, who for personal service and real experience can’t be trained up in a matter of hours, over the ‘fast food’ model of business and who, worst of all, might question by supporting your main street, locally the decisions of the executives when owned and operated businesses. ¢

This is not a doom and gloom message. We have had enough of those to last us a generation. Rather, it is a message of hope and optimism that we can all work on together in Kaipara. I have been reading some figures about regions such as Kaipara, and they give me cause for hope. Something like 27 per cent of Kaipara’s gross domestic product (GDP) comes from the primary (agricultural) sector. The good news is that, according to Infometrics, this is the one sector that is holding up well in the face of the domestic and global downturns. Infometrics say that dairy and fruit exports remain above 2019 levels and they expect food exports to remain robust. After all, the world needs to eat, Covid or no Covid. So, there is good news there for the food producer that is Kaipara. However, we need to do more if we are going to come out of this mess in the best shape we can. We need to look at the broader community—our retailers, our tradespeople, our service sector. They are going to need all the help they can get. The short-term measures instigated by the government do help, but they are what they are — short
term. There seems to be no actual plan for post-Covid recovery, or dare I say it — post-election survival. In Kaipara’s case, I believe we have a strong local government administration under Mayor Jason Smith, and that will help. We also have fortitude and resilience in the community that will help us as well. Moreover, we need to get government help. In Kaipara, about 18 per cent of our GDP comes from the manufacturing sector, most of them small to medium enterprises (SMEs) — they are the ones that will hurt most. They are the ones that need the government to step up to the plate. It is no coincidence that the new leader of the National Party has elevated SMEs as his personal priority. That he was also our spokesperson for agriculture means he is uniquely positioned to understand and to lead Kaipara to recovery. There is light at the end of this tunnel in the form and future of Todd Muller.

the resulting pressures on its people, as well as the opportunities offered by almost half a billion dollars already announced in local Provincial Growth Funding for almost 100 regional projects. Key among these are projects in rail ($207.23M), forestry ($102.05M), roading ($29.7M), tourism ($43.29M) and water storage and management ($30.8M). “We’re really pleased to see government funding offering not only potential economic and environmental gains, but also assisting our people back to work when this is sorely needed and by extension, helping us retain the collective skills we need to rebuild economically.” Penny says an example is the $1M funding announced recently to control wilding pines which is expected to provide several months’ work for more than two dozen forestry workers in the slashing a previously planned rates increase.

Taking advantage of millions in government 'shovel-ready' funding and local COVID-19 recovery initiatives like $1M of wilding pine control are great examples of how Northlanders can support each other, the local economy and environment in challenging times, regional councillors say. Chair Penny Smart and her fellow councillors say they’re extremely aware of the pandemic’s economic impacts on local communities, especially on top of severe drought. This was a key driver behind council’s recent decision to modify its Annual Plan 2020/21,
FROM MANUKA TREES TO KAURI With the Northland Regional Council’s Environmental Leaders Fund, Maungaturoto School supplied the children involved in planting various trees with gloves and masks. Kauri Park Nurseries donated 100 seedlings to the school, and they have been busy potting and nurturing them in their new shed. The children love the variety of trees they have, from manuka trees to kauri, there’s been plenty to learn about looking after them. They have plans to restore the stream near the school, and their planting knowledge will be sure to make the project a success!

Fundraisers back in business u by Paul Campbell
Fundraising is moving forward at pace after Maungaturoto’s The Den second-hand emporium closed its doors during lockdown levels four and three, with turnover exceeding expectations and organiser Albie Paton and his team planning allocations to local charities. “The Den has provided many thousands of dollars for the Maungaturoto Community Charitable Trust dementia unit, and with work delayed by the lockdown getting back underway soon with the raising of the walls on-site, we are looking to help out around town as well,” said Mr Paton. Once people got out and about again, here in Bickerstaffe Road we have been as busy as ever, probably folk simply getting out of cabin fever, and fortunately we’ve had some great donated items
to attract their attention.” While the venture will still add to the dementia unit funds, several specific events towards the Riverview Rest Home project are in the planning stage to ensure the $3.9 million building is well provided for. “Meantime, we are always on the lookout for saleable goods, clean and tidy furniture, beds in good condition but please, no old TVs or computer equipment, which just needs to be disposed of,” Mr Paton said. ¢

A memorial choice Northland Headstones has a team with many years of experience to guide friends and family through the process of raising a memorial to someone who has passed away.
Culprits captured on CCTV u by Andy Bryenton
In an incident, which store manager Jenni Gorrie has called ‘disheartening’ to her largely volunteer team, thieves have raided the Dargaville Hospice Shop’s cargo area and drop-off zone, in an attempt to steal from the charity supporting those with terminal illnesses.
Director Andrew Robson
Director Andrew Robson operates his business from One Tree Point. He invites people to call him to book a time to visit his showroom and a beautifully set out display of more than 60 headstones. Alternatively, a visit to the company website will aid in the selection of a suitable headstone, and Andrew is also more than happy to visit you to discuss your options. At a time of grief and mourning, a friendly and compassionate guide makes things more bearable. Andrew will give you a friendly welcome and take you through the process of design selection, engraving and installation. The company offers a

comprehensive service and can also carry out maintenance going forward at clients’ request. The company has a wise choice of headstone material including granite, glass, wood or local stone depending on chosen options. “We can offer a coffee or tea and show you through the various design ideas,“ Andrew says. “There is everything from the simple designs through to traditional decorative styles. Bespoke headstones, reflecting the character of the person being memorialised are also possible, and we are happy to help with the design. If it’s structurally possible — we can do it.” LEVEL 2 RIVERSIDE WOMEN’S HEALTHCARE During level 2, starting on Thursday 14th May, Dr. Moss will be conducting clinics for face-to face consults. She will still be doing teleconsults if appropriate or if you wish, particularly if she feels that certain test may be required before your clinic visit. Most insurance companies have been covering telehealth consults during level 3 and 4. Doing it in two steps might incur an extra charge for a short follow up visit in addition to the procedure you come back for but it also means that we can work out if there are any investigations that would be worthwhile getting done before you come for that. If you want an appointment for either a clinic visit or a teleconsult please phone the clinic number Once you have made an appointment, we will email you with information and instructions regarding how we will conduct the clinics to keep you and our staff safe.
p CCTV cameras have helped catch several criminals since their deployment in Dargaville, in association with the business community and police
Few lower acts could be imagined, but what perplexes the Hospice Shop’s management is the futile nature of the crime. Firstly, clearly labelled and visible CCTV cameras caught the perpetrators in the act, and police are following up armed with video footage. Secondly, the black plastic bags, which were torn apart by the thieves, were full of nothing but rubbish. Discarded items too damaged or worn to be resold via the popular charity shop. Jenni says that the main concern is the hours of volunteer time it takes to clean up after such an intrusion, and the effect it has on the morale of staff. Ironically, plans are afoot at the Hospice Shop to provide a ‘free’
section to redistribute goods that are donated but are not, for various reasons, suitable to resell. Those in genuine need would rarely be refused. Dargaville’s CCTV network, comprising both private and civic cameras, is extensive enough to capture images of opportunistic criminals no matter where they strike, and in the past it has been instrumental in the apprehension of many wrongdoers. The exceptionally heartless nature of this latest theft aside, the message from the town’s business owners and the police is clear. Don’t expect to get away with antisocial behaviour in Dargaville — you will be caught on camera before being apprehended by the law. ¢

The designer of almost everything u by Andy Bryenton
What do the Farmall tractor, the classic US muscle car, Le Creuset cookware, the coke bottle, NASA’s Skylab space station and the pop-up toaster have in common? They, and a bewildering list of other things, were all designed by the same man. Raymond Loewy might just be the most famous man you’ve never heard of, and his legacy literally defines how the modern world looks. Born in France in 1893, by 1908 he’d already designed an awardwinning aeroplane. Moving to the USA, he took a job as a window scene designer for large department stores like Macy’s. However, his true calling was in industrial design. By the end of the 1930s, he was responsible for modernising the tractor into the shape we know today, inventing the shape of the refrigerator that we recognise, and streamlining steam locomotives into art deco monsters. He then pressed on with the pop-up toaster, the famous HarleyDavison ‘knucklehead’ motorbike, the Schick electric razor, the rotary floor polisher, the Sunbeam kitchen mixer and the Greyhound bus. It seemed that he was working up to his best. Raymond gave us the classic ‘curvy’ coke bottle in the 50s, along with the aforementioned Le Creuset cookware. He was also called on to design cars such as the Sunbeam Alpine and Hillman Minx. Nevertheless, it was the coke bottle itself that inspired his work on the Studebaker Avanti, and hence, a whole generation of curvy

By lying the bottle down, Loewy got the idea for a profile with a flat nose, bulging hood scoop and flared guards, smooth cabin profile and a little ‘kick’ at the end, where the base of the bottle shadowed the placement of a boot spoiler. Look at a GTO Judge, Dodge Challenger, Chevy Corvette, Trans Am or any number of classics to see this ‘coke bottle’ silhouette. Later in life, Raymond didn’t slow down, designing the interior of the

His imitators were many; so many, in fact, that we now live surrounded by the visual echoes of Loewy designs.
